CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — Controversy is swirling in curling at the Winter Olympics. The Canadian men’s and women’s teams, as well as the British men’s team, have now been accused of the same infraction: double-touching the curling stone after it is released. It comes as Canada, a historic curling powerhouse, finds its ego bruised. Its mixed doubles team didn’t even play for a medal, and the women’s team can’t afford to lose more matches if it wants to reach the medal round.
